UN court rulings require ‘political enforcement’ by international community • FRANCE 24

I think it’s important to note that this is the highest of all International courts it’s certainly not symbolic but the way that international law works is that there are no enforcement mechanisms you can’t put a country into prison you can’t send the bayts around to enforce International rulings so we rely on

Political um enforcement as well and certainly if Israel were to ignore any provisional measures there would be serious political consequences at the international level but we have seen that Russia for example has ignored the courts provisional measures um Myanmar has done in fact many of the provisional

Measures laid out over over recent years and decades have been ignored by one or both parties uh but it really will be for the International Community to try and place pressure on both Israel and on Palestine if there are provisional measures that they need to implement

Reflecting on a landmark day in international justice as the UN’s top court began hearings Thursday on South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, Rosa Freedman, professor of law, conflict and global development at the University of Reading, says it marked an “important” development. But international courts have limited enforcement mechanisms, so rulings require “political enforcement” by the international community, she explains.
